Suffragette (12A) : Ely Cinema

"Carey Mulligan turns in an electric performance as the heart of Sarah Gavron’s activist drama..." The Guardian

Director: Sarah Gavron.  Starring: Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter.  106 mins.

The inspiringly kick-ass history of Britain’s early feminist movement is powerfully recreated in Suffragette. Carey Mulligan stars as Maud, a young factory worker who discovers the cause in the early 1900s, eventually becoming radicalised by a fierce world of hunger strikes, guerrilla tactics and brutal government reprisals. With its world-class cast and stirring story, Suffragette is not just entertaining, but also vibrant with cultural relevance.  Contains infrequent strong language, moderate violence and a scene of force-feeding.
